Macron warns some protests will be banned

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that while labour unions will be permitted to organize marches on Saturday, other activist groups will face bans on their protests. This decision comes amidst ongoing nationwide demonstrations against his proposed pension reforms. The move highlights the government's attempt to manage the protests, showing a clear distinction between sanctioned and prohibited groups. This decision could spark further debate over civil liberties and the government's approach to dissent.
